Fantastic episode. Congratulations Maryanne. Well researched. Excellent links to the independent NNT website. Courageous investigative doco exposing another myth trotted out by pharmaceutical companies and unfortunately perpetuated by many of my naive/deluded medical colleagues. Government policy also needs to change to fund independent research so we as a society can make better decisions about what medications/therapies are worthy of taxpayer subsidy. To leave the evidence gathering to pharmaceutical companies is absurd. Highly recommend the books by Ben Goldacre on this topic.
